A framed mixed media work on paper “Untitled” by Benny Andrews. The artwork uses black, blue, red, green, and yellow ink on white paper. At the center is a black outline of a woman with coily hair.

There is a yellow vertical line behind the woman. Along the edge are flowers and leaves drawn with red and green ink. The artist signed the artwork on the front, lower right corner in black ink: [BENNY ANDREWS / JAN 5, 1975]. On the backing of the frame, in pencil, is a balance note written and signed by E. J.
